RFaxis Partners with GreenPeak Technologies for Smart Home/Smart
Living, Home Automation and “Internet of Things” Initiatives

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RFaxis,
Inc., a leading fabless semiconductor company focused on developing
innovative, next-generation RF solutions for the wireless connectivity
and cellular mobility markets, today announced a new partnership with
GreenPeak Technologies, the industry’s leading Smart Home low-power
radio communication semiconductor company, on a chipset reference design
to address the needs of the emerging “Internet of Things” market
opportunities for home automation and smart home/smart living
initiatives. GreenPeak has selected the RFaxis RFX2411 CMOS ZigBee/ISM
RF front-end IC (RFeIC) to pair with the company’s GP711 ZigBee
PRO/RF4CE SoC (System-on-Chip).

The combination provides simplified RF design with robust RF link
quality that developers require for efficient and effective Internet of
Things (IoT) performance in a variety of home automation/smart home
applications.

“We are delighted to partner with RFaxis to address the competitive
smart home/smart living market with a combined high performance,
cost-effective platform solution,” said Vincent Vermeer, Director of
Marketing and Business Development at GreenPeak Technologies. “Their
fully integrated and cost-effective RF front-ends are ideal for our
GP711 ZigBee PRO chips which will help us to accelerate our plans within
our strategic market targets.”

“RFaxis is pleased to be working with GreenPeak to integrate our
innovative CMOS RF front-end technology into their ZigBee/ISM front end
solution,” said Raymond Biagan, VP of Worldwide Sales at RFaxis. “We
believe the combination of our integrated technology with GreenPeak’s
chips will spur exceptional performance of new IoT products and
applications that lower the cost of ownership while providing
exceptional value.”

The RFX2411 is a fully integrated, single-chip, single-die RFeIC (RF
Front-end Integrated Circuit) which incorporates all the RF
functionality needed for IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee, wireless sensor network,
and any other wireless systems in the 2.4GHz ISM band. The RFX2411
architecture integrates the PA, LNA, Transmit and Receive switching
circuitry with antenna diversity support, the associated matching
network, and the harmonic filter all in a CMOS single-chip device. Ideal
for high power applications like home automation, smart house/smart
living and smart power environments, the RFaxis RFX2411 combines
superior performance, high sensitivity and efficiency, low noise, small
form factor, and a low cost.

The GreenPeak Technologies GP711 System-on-Chip is an IEEE 802.15.4
communication controller for integration into a ZigBee RF4CE, ZigBee
PRO, and/or ZigBee IP controller or node. With its multi stack operation
it supports simultaneous operation of multiple ZigBee profiles inRF4CE
and ZigBee PRO/IP running in the host processor. It is fully compliant
with the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, providing robust spread spectrum data
communication and optimized for low cost while providing superior
performance in Smart Home Applications. GreenPeak’s solutions are
targeted for smart home / smart living, IoT, and M2M
(machine-to-machine) communications market segments, covering a wide
range of products such as home automation gateways, home security, home
healthcare, set-top boxes, lighting control, and smart energy.
